arent there some parts of the x that can be transfered onto the z so its cable throttle rather than fly by wire? | |

I presume the z12xe is the Twinport unit? Probably be slightly quicker than your existing 1.2 16v. | |

I wouldnt take on that conversion, its a completely different engine and wiring system so he would need to swap over the ecu and loom, immobiliser bits and then find a way to get your corsa B dials working, would need to wire in a fly by wire throttle system and retro fit the corsa C pedal,........... | |

Z12XE is fly by wire, you have no chance. Find another X12XE it will make life easier. | |
